Discussion on surface fishing bait getting off the hook

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:55:23 +0000

I'm confused about this. I'd like to know if, for surface baits, the fish biting and then getting off the hook is a probability-based event in the game mechanics, or is it triggered by certain specific events? Before we begin, I can rule out one factor: the technique I use to reel in the fish. Because I always use the same technique. However, the results are often very different; sometimes the fish bites and frantically escapes, while other times it's very normal. I hope guys will actively participate in the discussion so that we can get closer to the essence of the problem quickly.

I have fished every sim on the market. For some odd reason none offer fly fishing. It is a very popular way of fishing world wide. Are there no devs that know how to develop fly fishing??

Trouble with set up

I’m using the felix 500 reel, and a rod that goes with it. Bought it just to try catch drum in mudwater. No hook or bait will go on the line/bait. Only spinners will and it’s a casting rod and cast reel. Any ideas?

Mayflies/insects for trout?

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:43:42 +0000

Any recommendations for catching trout with Mayflies or other insect baits? I've tried #1 and #2 hooks, at Falcon Lake, float and bottom setups with 6 and 8 pound fluoro line, with and without leaders, and almost nothing would bite. I ended up giving up on insects and sticking with lures and small minnows. But during slow bite times I like to have a float or bottom rod out on a rod stand while lure fishing to speed things up.

Shrimps. Is that a live bait or dead?

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 23:31:44 +0000

As title says, is it live?

I ask as when I was using it on a bobber, it was moving around.

Not as much as say any live fish, but still seemed to be moving.

Thanks in advance.

Walker Colors Question

Wed, 04 May 2022 16:14:09 +0000

Does anyone know what's the difference between the various Walker colors?

Natural vs. Acid Tiger vs Perch?

It looks like Natural is the darkest, followed by Acid Tiger (green/yellow) and perch (yellow/orange)?

Also, which is better for use on muddy waters/cloudy/rainy days vs. clearer water/sunny days?

The colors seems to all blend together so I am having trouble figuring out what to buy to match where I plan to fish.

Top Water Fish Biting Pre-determined?

Wed, 18 May 2022 16:47:37 +0000

Does anyone know whether the top water fishing biting mechanism is pre-determined?

I'm talking about when you use a walker/popper/frog and successfully lure the fish to the lure, but it misses the lure after striking it, swims up (bubbled water) to bite it, or they reaching out of the water to bite it, etc.

I hear that there may be ways to increase you chances by changing the speed of the reel-in OR pulling the rod in the opposite direction after they bite the lure and not reel in immediately when they strike. I think I've had some success trying both ways, but it's hard to really say if it's me or something else.

I do notice that most times when the fish pops their head out the water to bite, more often they are trophies and uniques. This gets a bit discouraging if you end up not being to reel them in.

Real bait weights

Sun, 23 Jan 2022 13:11:44 +0000

I carry a lot of items to the waterway, but it happened to me several times that I got the "tackle is to heavy" message. Therefore it would be helpful to know the weight of the different pieces. Lures and sinkers weights are given, but for bait I only see a classification from light to x-heavy.

What I figured out so far:

Light < 5g

Medium (all three types, not better resolution atm) between 5g and 15 g

Heavy +/- 35g

X-Heavy between 50g and 70g

Any more detailed information on this?

Trophy and X-Series Lures

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 16:34:25 +0000

Do trophy and x-series lures attract more fish than standard lures? I’ve been watching YT videos for competitions and they are mostly using x-series lures and slaying the fish. I try the same spots with the standard version of the lure and only catch a fraction.
